Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks. He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger. Read what he says: www.londoncentric.media/p/london-tik...

What? Sorry? Pardon? The billionaire who prides himself on logistics when it comes to inanimate objects cannot get his own staff, who he has sent off to war zones to report on events around the world, safely home? WTF. I’d help support legal action so he can have the pants sued off him

Classic Dom, he's got all the Sunday newspaper profiles just where he wants them.

Sources are now telling me that it wasn't Mandelson on the Grassy Knoll, it was, in fact, Morgan McSweeney.

I visited a public house earlier this evening and drank some beer.

The outlook is cloudy with torrential rain across the UK. It has rained every day over the past 37 days in the UK, while Aberdeen has had zero hours of sunshine since 21 January and much of the country has had no sunshine this month. #Glum

Reform UK Has Taken Two Councils to the Brink of Bankruptcy dorseteye.com/reform-uk-ha...

Greater Manchester Police are investigating Reform over the potential breaking of electoral law in the Gorton & Denton by-election. The party sent out election materials without identifying they were the promoter. If Reform won the election the result could be overturned in court.

Who is this Viv and does she frequent other supermarkets? *gets coat*

I don't know for sure, but I'd bet that Mandelson was a key figure lobbying for Labour NOT to hold a proper inquiry into Russian interference in our elections. His closeness to Deripaska and others would have come out

What leadership looks like:

I’m an Ambassador for this brilliant charity, Bookbanks, giving away books with food parcels at food banks. There are two part-time jobs going for Regional Leads in London and East Anglia. Link below. Please share far and wide :)

I've just been to the proper butcher on the market place. I asked him if he had any lean mince and he said 'No, but mince is my next job so I'll make up a batch of leaner meat for you.' Result. £6. Cheaper than the supermarket. So lovely to meet old fashioned traders who look after you.

Next-door’s weird cat has been over here again.

Fabricating? You mean LYING. Reform are liars.

Dan Thomas, the new Welsh Reform leader. What he omits to tell is that he lives in a £1m house in Bath. He’s not actually back home raising his two boys in the south Wales valleys. This is a calculated misdirection if not blatant lie.

Question for those who separated from their partner and lived (or currently live) alone. How did you get used to it? I’m getting to know myself again, but it’s very strange to be without family around. I’m hoping that one morning I wake up with that feeling of contentment, and only I can do that.

Crikey. Turns out I’m a proper Labour fangirl.

Apparently eight years ago today, my hip - which I smashed when falling over at the polling station on local elections day 2017 - was declared fixed by my wonderful NHS consultant Mr Michaud.

My home for four years is submerged. All my neighbours have been evacuated. The road to town (Grana’a) has disappeared. The phone lines are down. This is the far south of southern Spain. This is climate change in action.

According to Italy's former prime minister, the power games at play in today’s world require Europe to make a qualitative leap in integration. A pragmatic leap. https://bit.ly/4a7jY4Q

“I will not turn round and look at Schrödinger’s dish, in case the answer is disappointing. It is up to you to master the paradox and see to it that the dish is as I want it to be. Also stop photographing me and putting me on the fucking internet, bastard”

And why isn’t Farage’s judgement called into question for hiring a Russian spy, or working for RT? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

While journos etc say Mandy is greatest scandal ever, abusers still get away w it “But the frenzied and remorseless focus on political fallout – & not the male-on-female debasement that is the entire heart of this story, & always has been – is weird, isn’t it?” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m thinking of another wronged woman today. Sue Gray. Downing St began to fall apart after an experienced dedicated civil servant was ousted for Morgan McSweeney. She opposed Mandelson’s appointment.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

This explainer is very good on the topical offence of Misconduct in Public Office. Useful detail on when it has been used re politicians.

Worth saying that the Obamas have always behaved with impeccable class.

Reform UK’s PCC Rupert Matthews is a constant failure Fiery debate sees Reform police commissioner’s budget rejected

From today’s Russian papers: “You don’t have to be an economist to forecast a recession: Russia’s export revenue is falling, budget revenues are falling, taxes rising, consumer demand shrinking…” Another paper: “Oil & gas revenues fall…rise in bread prices.” #ReadingRussia

“The only person in jail at the moment for the crimes of so many men is a woman.” Paddy O'Connell, Newsnight. (During a discussion about the Epstein Files).

This us quite something, never in my life would I have thought this could be America.

Whilst our right wing media is bashing Starmer they totally ignore Farage's name is all over the Epstein Files, and there has already been clear links to Russia separate from Epstein. He is usually vocal to criticise but with regard to Epstein he has remained silent. Silence is its own truth.

The thing is there has been this tendency in the last few years for leaders to have not been in the Commons for very long before they become party leader. Starmer had only been an MP for 5 years when he became leader. Sunak 7. This is unusual historically. 1/

IMDB has flagged Melania the documentary for “unusual voting activity”. Someone is trying to pump up the viewer ratings after critics said it was a worthless piece of shit.

Sixteen to 24-year-olds also have concerns about the rise of artificial intelligence, deepfakes and privacy issues, according to a survey by the BBC

I have a feeling I'll finally understand the point of cryptocurrency the day a JCB excavator pulls down the final server farm and they sell the land for a new Lidl .

Anyone who thinks what's happening is the worst political scandal this century, in this country should take a stroll down to the Covid Memorial Wall.

The behaviour of those British people associated with Epstein was absolutely despicable - but where are those Americans associated with Epstein being held accountable for their behaviour? There’s something very big missing here.

Nigel Farage tells GB News that Keir Starmer's decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador shows his judgement is "seriously wrong" and he should stand down as Prime Minister. Here's what Farage said when Mandelson was appointed

😠😠😠 Oh FGS! Get a fecking grip people and stop being media dupes! Has anyone died from covid? Have we been lied to re leaving the EU? Has anyone lost their Mortgage? A reminder of PMs who knowingly screwed the country. And one who wants to. I support Sir Keir. Unfollow me if you are a media dupe

If his critics finally managed to get Starmer levered out of no 10 over this Mandelson stuff, who will take over? If it's that Lucy Powell we'll be back to Corbynism before you can blink. Sorry, but someone has to say it like it is. Starmer's not the best PM we've ever had, but he's getting the UK..

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??
